So you know what, I will blame Trump for not be a leader; for not knowing what is going on

Source that Trump doesn't know what is going on, please.

I don't want anything from biased "news" because I know in fact he's been working the phones the entire weekend.
He's been clear on what he wants from the Dems. OPEN the gov. and then negotiations on immigration will begin.

"The president has been involved," Short said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Yesterday he was speaking to Leader McConnell, Leader Ryan. He also spoke to Kevin McCarthy."

you are telling me to name sources to say he wasn't working - my source is he wasn't even on Pirro or Fox & Friends

whats your source? are you in the white house?

"hello kettle. you are black. this is Pot calling by the way if you didn't recognize my voice"

I just read that 95% of Republicans voted against the shutdown, and only 5% of Democrats. Could this be true? And you want to blame Trump? You need to get serious.

Yep 95% means even the GOP couldn't come to an agreement. Same as the prior bills on R&R.

As far as Trump goes maybe you should pay attention to WHO HE says is at fault for a government shutdown. That would be the person at the top. Also known as the POTUS. Then look up what he said should be done to avoid a shut down. The LEADER (POTUS) should get the group into a room and work together to reach a deal.

I'm sure you remember Trump throwing around was a great deal maker he is. The BEST!!

Other than his reality TV meeting where he had to be led by the hand, he met with Schumer on Friday. Not with McConnell and Schumer mind you. Past that no meeting.

Government shut down at midnight. All day Saturday NO meeting called by the LEADER. All day Sunday, again no meeting called by the great negotiator.

McConnell mentioned earlier in the week they had no clue what Trump wants. From what I heard yesterday that hasn't changed.

So maybe explain why, when Trump was more than clear who's responsible for a shutdown in the past. How is he suddenly immune? Why has he not followed his OWN words?

Pure unadulterated spin.

Gov. will be back open today...or so it looks. They have the sixty votes so at least a few Dems. finally ended the charade. Let the Dems. get off their high horses and negotiate. Appropriate the funding for the wall...no more suggestions or authorizations that won't hold their weight in water.

and maybe he made some calls - as you say - because you were in the Oval -- but did he get anything done

Nope!

What don't you understand about his saying, OPEN THE GOV. and then we will NEGOTIATE? Looks like he lead the senate just fine. They are voting and it appears the Dems. who are up for reelection are coming to see it Trump's way.
